DungeonSticks - a modular tabletop design system that is fast and easy, and designed to use with a gridded battle map!

I have a running Kickstarter for a scifi/cyberpunk project (linked to above) and I wanted to build some scifi versions of DungeonSticks (if you don't know what a DungeonStick is check out the section at the botom). This is the first official set using my new v3 templates, where the connectors are flipped and you can do round or starlink depending on your needs/preference.
This first scifi release is intentionally simplistic. Scifi can be crazy complex and detailed, but the goal of these is to print them fast, paint them faster, and get them on the table - so I designed these to be able to do just that. There's nice detailing in the doors for visual interest but the walls are a very simple/basic design with some lighting elements. I'll do some more complex scifi walls in the future
As noted above, for the new v3 style DungeonSticks, you print a wall/door/etc, then whichever end pieces you want (starlink, round, couplers, etc) and combine them. You can glue the ends in if you want them to be permanent, or leave them unglued if you want to be able to change them.
This set includes:
Large (3") door
small (1") door
Straight wall sections (1", 2", 3", 4")
Wall end
Adjustable wall (for those weird angles/rooms)
End couplers (starlink female, round female, male, straight pin, and various couplers)

What the hell is a DungeonStick?



Tile sets have their place, but for organic caverns they are unruly and hard to use. To that end, I developed DungeonSticks - a "2.5d" terrain system built of walls and entrances to build out your caverns (on top of a battle map/mat, table, etc) with the focus on quick/easy setup, portability, player visibility, and easy printing/painting. The connection system is a simple drop-in rotating joint that requires no additional clips or fastening mechanism, and allows the walls to move to fit organic shapes. The goals of this system are:
Faster and easier than complete tile sets to print, paint, and setup
Reusable, flexible, and combinable with very minimal teardown / setup
Easy storage, transportation, and stacking when not in use
Create an 3rd dimension effect without the need for full floors/walls (by leveraging short walls and full-height doors, columns, etc)
Offer nearly-zero visual impairment or sight blocking for players on the table.
Not sacrifice design/aesthetics, but make the pieces beautiful for players to look at and full of detail without overcomplicating painting.
Harken back to an old-school "runehammer-esque" feel when used on the table.
Printing Notes
All pieces are designed to be printed best @ 1.2-.2mm layer height, but larger layers should work OK and keep peg/locking system in tact. They require little or no infill (10% or so) but I personally like 20-30% so they have a little weight to them. No supports are needed for any of the pieces.
